Threats to the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage Site
Threats to the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage Site Niels Henrik Hooge, NOAH Friends of the Earth Denmark’s Uranium Group 9th International NGO Forum on World Heritage | 24 February 2021 The site • One of three WHS in Greenland. • Inscribed on UNESCO’s world heritage list in 2017 under Criterion V in the WH Convention as “an outstanding example of a traditional human settlement, land-use, or sea-use which is representative of a culture (or cultures), or human interaction with the environment especially when it has become vulnerable under the impact of irreversible change”. • It comprises a sub-arctic farming landscape consisting of five components representing key elements of the Norse Greenlandic and modern Inuit farming cultures. They are both distinct and both pastoral farming cultures located on the climatic edges of viable agriculture, depending on a combination of farming, pastoralism and marine mammal hunting. • It is the earliest introduction of farming to the Arctic. • Source: UNESCO, Kujataa Greenland: Norse and Inuit Farming at the Edge of the Ice Cap (2017), https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1536/ Threats to the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage Site 2 The site Source: UNESCO World Heritage Centre Threats to the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage Site 3 The site Kujataa Greenland: Norse and Inuit Farming at the Edge of the Ice Cap.

Mineral Exploitation and Development in Greenland: Engaging Local Workforce and Planning Flexible Settlements
Mineral Exploitation and Development in Greenland: Engaging Local Workforce and Planning Flexible Settlements Kåre Hendriksen, Birgitte Hoffmann & Ulrik Jørgensen The key question of the paper is how to plan and organize mining projects in Greenland in ways that involve local workforce and develop business as well as settlement potentials. The paper outlines a concept of flexible settlements with the aim to build a socio-economic sustainable future for Greenland. A major contemporary challenge for Greenland is its economic deficit and dependency on state support from Denmark, to maintain its living standard. The evolving decoupling between existing settlements and the main export industry based on marine living resources re-enforced by new mineral extraction based on a workforce that is working temporarily at the mining sites poses a threat to employment in Greenland. At the same time, attracting mineral resource based industries is key to overcome the economic challenges. Mining companies envisage potentials for a fast extraction of the resources using immigrant and migrant labourers that work intensively while living in temporary quarters. The historic experiences of Greenland tell that a different, slower exploitation of mineral resources may contribute to social improvements and competence-building thereby providing long-term improvements for the Greenlandic society. This point to a need for plans and the organisation of mineral exploitations that operate based on coupling local settlements and resources with mining and other forms of activities. This demands new perspectives on the content of social impact assessments as well as new criteria for the planning of settlements and infrastructures. Introduction The natural mineral and energy resources in Greenland have been researched in detail by Danish state institutions like the Danish Geological Surveys (GEUS) and the former Greenland Technical Organization (GTO) for many years. -
